Pfandbriefstelle is the funding-vehicle for the Austrian hypobanks and it signed its Euro-MTN programme in December 2000. It has proved to be a great success. Its investor base has grown and Pfandbriefstelle has leveraged its strengths - its triple-A rating and structure flexibility - to the maximum.

The inaugural deal was launched in January 2001 and was followed by a jumbo euro-yen benchmark issue.

Vorarlberger's treasury has also managed to establish Pfandbriefstelle as a frequent issuer for structured yen private placements.
